Uploading Word 2007 documents to Google Documents
Hello, I have a Microsoft Word 2007 document where paragraphs have been separated by one blank lines. These are proper Microsoft Word paragraphs as can be seen by the "backwards P" characters that separate them when I click on the Show/Hide button under the Home tab in Word 2007. Now when I upload the Word document to Google Documents (the service can be found at http://docs.google.com) then the paragraph structure is preserved, but, alas, the blank lines shown in Word separating them disappear. Is there any known way of preventing this from happening. Thanks, John Goche |

If the blank lines are actually empty paragraphs, they should be deleted
from the document (Edit Replace ^p^p with ^p) and the paragraphs should be formatted with space after them to obtain the space between the paragraphs. Using empty paragraphs as a way of providing space between text is a carryover from the days of the typewriter. -- Hope this helps.

Uploading Word 2007 documents to Google Documents
Are you saying that I should manually insert a paragraph consisting of a single space to achieve blank lines between paragraphs? Interestingly if I insert an extra blank paragraph in Word 2007 so that there are actually three paragraph markers between paragraphs rather than two then when I upload to google documents I get a single blank line between the paragraphs, but I still don't think I'm doing it right because I would really like the word documents to match the one blank line between paragraphs, not two blank lines between paragraphs which is what it looks like now. Thanks for your help.

No! That is not what I am saying. You should delete the empty paragraph
that you have there already and IF you want a space between each paragraph, you should format the paragraphs so that they have the desired space after them by using the Format Paragraph dialog. -- Hope this helps.
